Dubai residents looking for new avenues of entertainment at the city’s newest landmark will have to wait as IMG Worlds of Adventure theme park has delayed its date of opening.

The reason for this delay has been put down to ‘fine-tuning the final details’, according to the management, with ticket holders now bagging a priority pass.

The new date will be two weeks away from the initial August 15 inaugural, with IMG Worlds now throwing open its doors on August 31, the same day as the emirate welcomes its second landmark, the Dubai Opera.

“We are currently fine-tuning the final details to bring our guests the best experience possible when we welcome everyone later in August,” IMG Worlds said in a statement.

“If you have already purchased tickets prior to the new opening date, you will be issued new tickets for a date of your choice. In addition, you will receive a complimentary Ultimate Fast Track pass, which will provide priority access on rides and attractions.” More info
